Default Dangers/risks of smelling your guitar too much?

I love sticking my shnoz in the soundhole and taking a big old whiff. The wood, the glue, the whatever I'm smelling.

That's all. The title of the thread is a joke. Feel free to play along.

I love the smell of my all mahogany D15S especially when I have just opened the case. Maybe it's the case I'm smelling? I'm not addicted to it, yet.

Getting a pick stuck in your nose seems like a real possibility.

It's wise to be on the look-out for those....

Getting your nose trapped between the D and G string and then having to go through life with a guitar hanging from your nose forever.

Soundhole sniffers. And here I thought they were just myth.

I wonder if there's a potpourri bag for "new guitar smell".

Default Guitar sniffing

It means you're not spending enough time playing.

I love the smell of cedar you get while the guitar warms up against your body

I love the smell of my Martin especially, but this topic really brings to mind the evening a few years back when my wife and I were watching TV with my Taylor GS Mini on a stand across the room by the fireplace, and one of these bad boys came crawling out of the sound hole...

I'm sure glad that didn't happen when I picked it up for a quick sniff.
